NoOp, thanks for your suggestion. Alas, I found myself unable to get IBus to
work ; for example, after installing IBus according to the instructions on
the Ubuntu Community page and adding Chinese and Japan, I didn't find «IBus
Preferences» under «System» → «Preferences», nor did «Ctrl + Space» start
IBus in, e g, LibreOffice, despite my having selected «ibus» as my keyboard
input method under «System» → «Administration» → «Language Support». So I'm
still trying to get SCIM to work. The thing that surprised me with respect
to Christian's advice above to set SCIM as my «global default» was that I
thought I had already  done so ; i e, I had edited my profile under /etc by
adding the following :
# SCIM
export XMODIFIERS='@im=SCIM'
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
export XIM_PROGRAM="scim -d"
export QT_IM_MODULE="scim"
scim -d

I had also ensured that the following lines appeared in /etc/scim/global :
/SupportedUnicodeLocales = sv_SE.utf8,en_US.UTF-8. Previously, these
measures have sufficed to make SCIM work with OOo/LO....

What next ?...

Henri
